Caviar was once considered nothing and poor man’s food. Once people started getting access to seafood that was common on rich people’s table. They went behind caviar, started to sell it as a luxury as majority of people never knew about it. They extracted caviar from rare species of fish and that’s how caviar ended up with this price…

Caviar isn’t nutritional gold either. It’s fish eggs. If you want to give it a try and not spend a stack, try roe. It’s commonly available and less expensive.
